Daffodils Child Development Center
Trusted family partner to realise your child's potential

Autism, Speech and Feeding Therapy for Children in Hyderabad and Online Globally

Beyond therapy. Building skills, supporting families, shaping futures.

You have seen something in your child that you can't explain: words that have not arrived, meals that end in tears, or a school report that does not match the child you know. Whatever brought you here, you do not have to work it out alone. At Daffodils we bring autism, speech, feeding, behaviour, occupational, and learning specialists together into one team, to give your child one clear plan rather than a series of disconnected appointments.

The Daffodils difference

One child. One team. One plan.

We do not treat symptoms in isolation. We understand the child first.

Our multidisciplinary team assesses together, agrees a shared formulation, and writes a single plan that every therapist works from. You get one point of contact and one set of goals, reviewed together as your child progresses.

Meet the founder

Dr. Jyoshna Tanigundala

Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, Child Psychologist, and Feeding Specialist

“Children must be understood before they are treated.”
Growing up among medical professionals, she listened to families in her father’s nursing home and learned early that a child must be seen as a whole individual within their family, not just a diagnosis. In 2015 she founded Daffodils so that no family would have to navigate their child’s development alone.

What happens at your first visit

What to expect on your first visit

Designed to take away the apprehension for both you and your child.
We send a short online form about your child's history, and a list of anything useful to bring, such as school reports or previous assessments.
Expect to be with us for about 40 to 50 minutes. You stay with your child throughout. Part of the session is structured testing and part is play-based observation.
The clinician discusses initial impressions with you the same day. You will not be sent home to wait without any indication of what we are seeing.
You receive a written report with findings, a formulation, and a recommended plan, including session type and frequency.
There is no obligation to enroll in therapy with us, and the report is yours to take anywhere.

Transparency First

Practical questions, answered plainly

No hidden costs, no vague clinical answers. Clear information from day one.
No. You can meet us about any concern you have related to your child's development. No formal diagnosis or referral is required.
No. Not every child needs formal therapy. For some, guided home practice with therapy bundles and periodic follow-ups may be enough.
Yes. We encourage parents to take an active part in sessions. We only ask that you attend consistently so you can practise the strategies at home.
Clinical therapy sessions are billed either per session or through discounted quarterly blocks designed around your child's goal timeline. All packages include one free practical parent training session with their child's dedicated therapists and regular milestone re-evaluations by clinical heads.
A standard session is usually 45 minutes of direct child interaction, including 5 to 10 minutes of direct caregiver feedback and home transfer discussion, based on need. Most children attend 3 to 5 sessions per week based on clinical need, balanced with home practice routines.
We provide the documentation you need, such as itemised invoices and clinical progress notes, to help you apply for reimbursement from your insurer or employer.
In some cases we may be able to offer financial support. This is decided case by case, so please speak to our intake coordinator confidentially.
